The news-Herald. MORGANTON, N. C. Published Every Thursday MISS BEATRICE COBB, Editor and Owner. Entered at the postoffice at Morgan ton, N. C, as second-class mail matter TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year $1-50 Six Months 75 Four Months -50 CASH IN ADVANCE THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1919 BUSINESS ORGANIZATION. The News-Herald has been urging the men of Morganton to form a bus iness organization a board of trade, chamber of commerce, or whatever they may choose to call it and we are pleased to report that there is ev ery reason to believe that at an early date such an organization will be ef fected. There is no doubting the need; every business man in town who has any thought at all for the future of the town will tell you he thinks there should be cooperation and uni ted effort on the part of the business interests to bring about some of the things we want accomplished for the town. Of course the little fellow who has no vision beyond the walls of his little store or office will be indifferent to any kind of a get together, work together proposition which may be presented. There's just this about it we can either make up our minds to one of two things: that we are going to work cooperatively to bring Morganton to the forefront industrially and to real ize some of our long felt community needs, or we are going to jog along, lose fine business propositions be cause of our lack of organization and fail to grasp the opportunities that are ours for the taking of town ad vancement and improvement. It's up to us. THE PASSING OF A GENTLE WOMAN. The death Tuesday night of Mrs. G. P. Erwin, a member of one of the town's most prominent families, has brought sadness to the hearts of many friends and an irreparable, loss to her loved ones. Truly one of the community's choicest flowers of wo manhood has been selected for trans planting in God's garden of eternal sunshine. The smile on her lips af ter death was as if she had glimpsed the beauty of the reward prepared j for the faithful. A life well spent, a mission well filled, a long period of loving service to others, was her con tribution to the world, and her pass ing is as the rounding out of a per fect day of usefulness and brightness. As a home maker, a church mem ber, a club woman, an active worker in all patriotic organiations with which she became identified, her sweetness of character gave strength to the leadership she naturally as sumed. Morganton has produced few women who were her equals in intel lectual attainments, and none who were her superiors. The following lines from an old scrap book, "The Passing of a Gen tlewoman," can be most fittingly ap plied to Mrs. Erwin: "Cherished and choice, at last she goes Like a rare ancestral rose, Which many a summer has alone Within an antique garden blown, And when it dieth leaves behind, No more on earth of its own kind. THANK YOU. We acknowledge with thanks the following "bouquet" from the Concord Times and pass it along to the men who deserve the praise: "The Morganton News-Herald not only has a bright and most clever lo cal cartoonist, but it also has on its mechanical force men who are pro ducing these cartoons in the paper every week without the aid of stero type machinery. The work is most efficiently done and the cartoons are looked for each issue with eagerness by the readers of The News-Herald." THE JOY OF SAVING. Don't save for a "rainy day.' Save so that there won't be any rainy days. That isn't the forward-looking, empire-building spirit of America. That is the philosophy of optimism, the kind of thinking that is going to make you happy and make your old age a period of fullest enjoyment. There is a lot of joy in saving. Don't let it be a dull, hateful duty. Save so that you can win the delights of competence, not because you can not afford to spend. Save so that you can afford, a little later, to buy some thing you want very much. If you go into the saving habit with a smile you will learn the joy of saving because saving leads to temperance in all things, to construc tive thinking, to clean living, to building for the future. Start your mind going along saving lines, and then watch it travel. It will take your fattening pocket-book along with it. Learn to think in interest, to elimi nate waste, but for goodness sake, don't be stingy. That lovely presence, fair and fine, A gentle sainthood's fitting shrine, That delicate and subtle grace, An heir born from an honored race, That life that reads its quiet story In God's own way, to God's own glory, And on its very latest page A vivid, beautiful old age." A CURIOUS LAW. An exchange commenting on the prevalent and exaggerated use of paint and powder on a girl's and wo men's faces recalls to mind that there was a law at one time in England to the following effect, and which might be placed on our statutes to relieve the over-supply of chemical-made wo men: "Whosoever shall entice into bonds of matrimony any male subject of Her Majesty's, by means of rouge, white paint, Spanish cotton, steel cor sets, crinoline, high-heeled shoes, or fake figures of any character, shall be prosecuted for witchcraft and the marriage -declared null and void."

The army did things on time in France. If we were to start at a certain time we always did. Nothing ever happened to make us unpunctual." JUDGE B. F. LONG. Judge B. F. Long, who has been presiding over the term of court just closing, is one of the really strong men on the bench in the State, his strength as a jurist basing itself principally on the fact that he wins the confidence of the people with whom he deals, making them feel his intentions for extending justice and impartiality. His sense of humor is very keen, his insight into human nature re markably strong and his sympathies bread enough tha justice at his hands is tempered with mercy for the igno rant and unfortunate. Burke county is fortunate in his as signment for a period of service as presiding judge here. "I've been in almost every town of any size in the State," remarked a man to The News-Herald one day this week, "and I have found few that can boast a prettier school building than ours in Morganton." We were agreed that the only thing it lacks is a wing on the north side to corres pond with that on the south to give the extra room that is so much needed.
